Alazwar^b⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 69| D

7/1

Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 17/2) under Brodie Hampson last Monday. Blinkers back on. Ought to be thereabouts.

Swift Salian²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Alice Keighley| T: T D Barron| OR: 68| D

7/2

11/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 24 days ago but was placed on AW prior to that. Hood worn on last couple of starts is left off.

American Star^p⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss C Parker⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 63

9/1

40/1, last of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7f, good) on Thursday. Tough to fancy on recent efforts.

Form: 570480

Dogged^p⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: R Menzies| OR: 60| D

13/2

5/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Ripon (11f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Back down in trip. Merits consideration for a yard going well.

Ayr Poet^p⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Megan Davies⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58| C| D

3/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Only eighth of 12 at Ayr 4 days ago, merely closing up late. Others more persuasive.

Form: 863708

True Nation¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Mr Eireann Cagney| T: R A Fahey| OR: 53| CD

10/3

8/1, career best when winning 11-runner C&D handicap (good) 12 days ago, driven out. A 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 258691

Bulls Aye^v¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Hannah Crawford⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 52| C

16/1

Unreliable type who was well behind True Nation over C&D 12 days ago. Did win this race last year, though.

Form: 572768

(3)

Cage Rattler^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Alex Garven⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 45

50/1

Unreliable individual. 50/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 10 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Ayr Poet (3/1), True Nation (10/3), Swift Salian (7/2), Dogged (13/2), Alazwar (7/1), American Star (9/1), Bulls Aye (16/1), Cage Rattler (50/1)

Rebecca Menzies has her team in form and DOGGED can build on a good run at Ripon last time and resume winning ways at the expense of recent C&D scorer True Nation. Alazwar may prove best of the remainder.
